My First Icee

I had never had one of these (29 years old and never had one before!).  I met up with a friend who invited me to lunch.  I was not hungry, but I was thirsty, and had never had one, and saw the machine, and so I had to have one.  How is that for a run-on scentance?

So the camera decided to focus on the brick behind my head and I was not in the mood to keep taking pictures, so this is what you get.  Me “enjoying” my first (and probably last) Icee.  Unless I find myself in urgent need of sugar without caring how it tastes.  And you can sort of see my cute haircut, one side of my head anyway.

I Love This Cereal

They are Fruity Cheerios.

I discovered these at the preschool.  They use them at snack time.  I tasted them to see if I might like them.  I do.  They are not covered in “frosting” and do not leave a slime covering in the mouth or bowl, like certain other round fruit flavored cereals.  When Matt, Ronda, and the Gs were here this last week, they approved them.  And you get Box Tops for Education on the box.


I will be working at the preschool all this week.  I have been pretty busy working there and taking care of other things, so if I can find the energy I will be posting stuff.

It Is A Person Holding A Cup

However it is not a child.

We live next door to a nursing home.  A number of the nurses smoke.  They are not allowed to smoke on nursing home property.  So they cross over into our yard to smoke.  When I see them, I take their pictures smoking in our yard, and in the dry leaves of the tree heavy land behind our house.  Just in-case they set the place on fire, I want there to be evidence of what they are up to.  BTW, I do not hide that I am taking their pictures.  And when ever they see us outside (with or with out the camera) they imediately throw the cigarette down and head back to the nursing home or cross the street.  This picture actually shows her at the barrel.  She normally is not there, but at least if she sets it on fire, it is semi-contained.  When we first moved in one of the nurses came to the door and asked if we mind if she stands out front of our driveway to smoke.  We told her we would prefer that she not, as I am allergic to the smoke.  It was nice of her to ask, we appreciate that.  She is not one of the ones we have caught smoking here, she goes in the other direction in fact to have her smoke-break.  I am pretty sure she passed on the word that we would prefer them not smoking here, but I suspect she is the only one with enough respect to care that it matters.  To her I say, “Thanks!”  As for the rest of them, I am sorely tempted to collect all their cigarette butts in a bag and take them and pictures of the ladies smoking on our land to the managers/owners and ask them to take care of the issue.
